Paris, Tenn.–Paris First United Methodist Church hosted a drive-thru food distribution Tuesday, serving 90 families with boxes of food, in partnership with Second Harvest.
One of the organizers, Elyse Bell said: “Beautiful, nutritious fruits and vegetables were bountiful today. Protein bags of chicken, pork, and beef were also shared.”
The distribution at the church is held the third and fourth Tuesday of every month.
Bell explained there is no appointment necessary to receive the commodities. However they must register upon arrival at the entrance to the Christian Life Center on McNeill Street.
The distribution time depends on the arrival of the Second Harvest truck, usually around 11 a.m. Many folks arrive as early as 8 a.m. to wait for the truck in the back parking lot.
